Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.95 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 43 matches (0.95 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (National competition 5 · State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 30 catches + 6 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.93 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 660 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 18.6, strike rate 53.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
